Today the
Democratic Alliance requested that the South African Council of Education be
called to account to committee on cases involving the rape and abuse of
children by educators.
The DA said for the
2010-2012 period there were 266 reported sexual abuse related complaints.
DA Shadow Minister
of Basic Education Annette Lovemore said that 40 of the cases that were left un-investigated.
“Some of the cases
had been investigated and the teachers been found guilty and had been placed
back in the school where they had perpetrated the rape” Lovemore said.
Lovemore said that Anene
Booysen had not been raped and died in vain, as the Department will make every
effort in ensuring that young girls are safe at school.
